For One Shot Poetry Week 50
A Dancing Machine
By Nomar Knight
Ushered to center stage
Wondering what was the rage
The beat bounced and moved
My feet followed the groove
So much for being shy
Their cheers made me high
Sliding sideways back and forth
Dropping south and rising north
Three spins on heels for all to see
Many dropped jaws surrounded me
Kicked at the sky karate style
Sweating as if I ran a mile
Slammed my shoes down hard
Newfound attention could not discard
The cheers were all for me
Strange how dance set me free
Split my legs wide and far
On the floor became a star
Rose to the loudest cheers
This dancing gig rid my fears
Watch out world here I come
No longer timid no longer dumb
Electric beats sounded clean
Born again a dancing machine

ReplyDeleteI say "dance on!" When something legal gives you that kind of high, hold tight to it.....that's the best thing in the world! Enjoyed this piece.
ReplyDeleteso nice...enjoyed the swing in your words...on the pic it looks like tango..one of my favs...to watch.. but dancing sets free for sure..like writing poetry does..
